The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yujie and the others all looked troubled.

Wu Bing's words are true, but the Card Master's job is to wage an intelligence war.

Revealing one's soul card abilities casually makes one an easy target for those with ulterior motives.

At that point, it will be a matter of life and death.

Before Zhang Ziyang and Cai Kun joined, the other four chatted briefly.

But what he said was all trivial.

The alluring fragrance of Liu Yujie is a characteristic inherent to her Soul Card.

Both the first and second soul skills are well hidden.

"This……"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even Cai Kun, who is usually oblivious, didn't foolishly reveal it.

Zhang Ziyang remained silent, quietly toying with the curved knife in his hand.

If no one else speaks up, he naturally won't either.

and……

For some reason, he felt that something was not quite right.

This premonition had no basis; it was purely instinctive.

Zhang Ziyang couldn't find any clues yet, but he wasn't in a hurry at all.

Because if someone really harbors malicious intentions, their true colors will eventually be revealed!

As soon as Wu Bing said that, the atmosphere in the group became extremely strange.

It was Zhao Fu who broke the silence first.

He glanced around to see if any demonic beasts were lurking, then turned back and frowned, saying:

"Brother Wu, is it really necessary to tell everyone this?"

Indiscriminately probing someone else's Soul Card abilities is a major taboo in the Card Master world.

I probably don't need to remind you of these old, outdated unspoken rules.

Moreover, Liu Meizi has a card array there, so as long as everyone is careful, we shouldn't let that ugly thing get away.

I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but I'm not really that capable.

If I reveal even this little bit of my past, I'll really be out of a job in the future.

After saying that, Zhao Fu put on a bitter expression.

He already had a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, and now, looking at him again, he looked even more unique.

The others nodded in agreement.

For the first time, I found that this glib and ugly guy could actually utter a few fair words.

Wu Bing glanced around at everyone and gave a wry smile:

"I understand this matter, so I am well aware of everyone's difficulties."

However, the Evil Electric Frog is no ordinary monster.

It is a powerful monster that may have already reached the third rank!

With a formidable enemy at hand, having multiple layers of insurance naturally makes things safer.

How about this: when monsters appear later, we'll take turns fighting according to our respective abilities.

This way, we can have a preliminary understanding of each other's strengths, which will make it easier to cooperate later.

"Besides, it's easier to control the extent of the action if I do it myself, and I'll know exactly how much to disclose. What do you think?"

He finished speaking with a serious expression and a very sincere look in his eyes.

After listening to the suggestion, the others thought it was acceptable, albeit barely.

Zhao Fu blinked:

"I'm just a guide, I'm not good at direct combat, so... maybe I should just give up?"

He was met with unanimous opposition as soon as he finished speaking.

"no!"

"Sigh, you young people really don't know how to respect your elders at all. Well then, I'll just... stretch my muscles a bit!"

Zhao Fu sighed, then quickly pulled a black crossbow from his pocket.

With a quick glance at the sky and a raised head, his long, slanted rat-like eyes moved the crossbow and pulled the trigger.

"Zheng——!"

The bowstring pierced the air.

The solid aluminum arrow shot out instantly!

"Wow!"

The next second, a mournful cry rang out from the forest.

Everyone was slightly startled, then looked up and saw a large silver-feathered bird tumbling down from the sky with a mournful cry.

Before it even hit the ground, Zhao Fu quickly took out a red-feathered arrow from his sleeve, loaded it, and then half-squatted down.

The crosshair seemed to be on, or rather, it was never off, closely following the movement of the silver-feathered bird.

Just as it was about to hit the ground, Zhao Fu's eyes gleamed, and he pulled the trigger, letting out a low shout.

"Go!"

"Shh-!"

The arrow flew out in a rapid spiral.

The red feathers rubbed against the air, creating flames that trailed a straight, dazzling line of fire in mid-air, striking the bird-like monster's body precisely.

"boom!"

There was an explosion.

A burst of blood mixed with fire erupted from the chest of the silver-feathered bird.

In an instant, bird feathers scattered and blood and flesh splattered everywhere!

The silver-feathered bird didn't even have time to utter its final lament before it crashed to the ground like a tattered rag.

Her delicate body trembled a few times, then she stopped moving.

Miserable!

That's horrible!

What a miserable death!

From the moment Zhao Fu took out his crossbow to the moment he shot and killed the bird-like monster, the whole process took no more than ten seconds!

Cai Kun and Wang Pengfei stared blankly at the scene before them.

No!

This ugly old man is actually so strong?

You can’t see it at all!

Zhao Fu slowly stood up, wiped the crossbow, and put it back into his pocket:

"No wonder I couldn't hear clearly, it turns out it was a silver falcon!"

This thing flies very quietly and is best at launching aerial ambushes.

If the wind hadn't stopped, I almost would have been fooled.

He still had that same smiling expression on his face.

But now no one dares to underestimate him.

They certainly wouldn't take Zhao Fu's frequent claim of being "not good at combat" seriously.

Zhang Ziyang concealed the slight unease in his eyes.

He didn't find it particularly strange.

A guide who has spent years roaming the rifts, and a card master who is still alive and well, must have some unique skills.

but……

Zhang Ziyang glanced at Wu Bing subtly out of the corner of his eye.

The man remained calm and showed little surprise.

It seems like I knew it a long time ago.

Liu Yujie had previously stated that Wu Bing and Zhao Fu had known each other for a long time.

Thinking about it this way, Wu Bing's appearance is not surprising.

Liu Yujie, standing to the side, narrowed her beautiful eyes and seemed to have discerned some of the details.

The crossbows and arrows used by Zhao Fu were likely enhanced with materials from demonic beasts, making them far more powerful than ordinary ones.

Armor-piercing arrows and explosive arrows have been fired...

He must have arrows with other functions in his possession.

"Everyone, I'll start by making a fool of myself."

Zhao Fu smiled and cupped his hands in greeting before walking over to deal with the Silver Falcon's corpse.

However, not long after, he returned carrying a bag and looking dejected.

Wu Bing casually asked:

"How was the harvest?"

Zhao Fu waved his hand, looking utterly dejected.

"Don't even mention it, what bad luck, the crystal core was actually blown up!"

If it weren't for the fact that the silver feathers were in relatively good condition, we would have really suffered a huge loss this time!

However… we've got our dinner sorted out!

Zhao Fu shook the heavy bag in his hand, revealing a greedy look on his face.

"Everyone, this silver falcon was just caught, and the meat is incredibly delicious! Tonight, I'll show off my skills and let you all witness my barbecue expertise!"

"Alright, alright, then dinner's on your plate, Uncle Zhao, hehe~ hehe~"

Cai Kun smacked his lips; just thinking about it made his mouth water.

Zhao Fu put down the bag, his face beaming with smiles:

"No problem, no problem. You need to eat and drink your fill to have the energy to do the mission! But let me make it clear from the start, I need to charge for the meal."

"Huh? You want money?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Kun immediately lost interest.

Zhao Fu chuckled:

"Uncle, I'm getting old, and it's not easy for me to earn money!"

You young people will understand later; those who know, know.

"Alright, let's keep going, it's getting late!"

The group then continued on their way.

Once you leave the mountains, you'll encounter more monsters on the road.

Normally, lone monsters would stay away from large groups of card masters.

After all, they're not stupid; if they can't win, they'll run away. They won't insist on going to their deaths.

But now it's different.

Under the influence of the expansion and contraction of the boundary, the monsters, as if they had developed superhuman syndrome, rushed over with their eyes red.

Although it wasn't very dangerous, it still caused the team some minor trouble.

As a result, everyone's strength was showcased to some extent during this opportunity.

Among them, Wu Bing, the strongest, particularly caught Zhang Ziyang's attention with his performance...
